Question

What's the difference between fins and flippers?

Answer 1

Fins and flippers:

1. The majority of fish have fins that they employ for balance, stability, steering, and swimming (locomotion).
2. An organ of a fish used for balance and propulsion in the water is made comprised of a membrane supported by rays or tiny bony or cartilaginous ossicles known as a flipper.

S.No.	Flippers	Fins
1.	Adapted limbs are called flippers.	Not being a modified limb, a fin.
2.	The bones, tendons, and cartilage of a flipper are all there.	Fins are mostly made of cartilage and do not contain ny genuine bones or skeletal structure.
3.	Although technically pectoral comes from pectoralis, which means breast or chest, and is a bit of an anatomical misnomer, flipper correlates to the arm and hand of terrestrial creatures.	An animal's dorsal fin is found on its back.
4.	A broad, flattened limb designed for aquatic mobility is called a flipper.	The dorsal, adipose, caudal, anal, paired pelvically, and paired pectoral fins of the catfish are present.
